Birkirkara held Sliema Wanderers in a goalless draw at the Tony Bezzina Stadium on Sunday.
The Wanderers remain unbeaten in six matches and following Marsaxlokk’s draw with Naxxar, they maintain a seven-point lead in third place over the Southseasiders. Birkirkara, on the other hand, share fifth place with Hibernians and Naxxar in fifth place, one point behind Marsaxlokk.
Attempts at goal were few and far in between with the best attempt falling at the feet of Andrei Ciolacu, served by Andrea Zammit, whose goal-bound shot was cleared off the goal line mid-way through the second half.
